Product details
Overview
OPA684IDBVR from Texas Instruments is a low-power, current-feedback operational amplifier with disable control, designed for high-bandwidth video and signal conditioning applications. It delivers 120MHz bandwidth at G = +10, –78dBc 2nd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz (RL ≥ 1kΩ), ±4V output swing on ±5V supplies, and 1.7mA quiescent current - enabling broadcast video drivers and ADC input stages in space- and power-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA684IDBVR datasheet, OPA684IDBVR pinout, OPA684IDBVR application, or OPA684IDBVR equivalent, key selection considerations include its CFBplus architecture's gain-independent bandwidth, 100µA shutdown current, SOT-23-6 package footprint, and verified performance in NTSC composite video (0.04% differential gain, 0.02° differential phase) under ±5V operation.
Technical Context
The OPA684IDBVR implements a patented CFBplus architecture featuring an internally closed-loop input buffer stage that linearizes inverting-input impedance, minimizing gain-dependent bandwidth roll-off and harmonic distortion. This enables stable 120MHz small-signal bandwidth up to G = +10 and < 0.1dB gain flatness to 14MHz at G = +2.
Its dual-supply (±2.5V to ±6V) or single-supply (+2.8V to +12V) operation is supported by supply-independent biasing, while the DIS pin provides TTL-compatible enable/disable control with 40ns turn-on time and 4ms disable time - critical for power-gated video signal paths and portable instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +10) | 120MHz - supports full HD video baseband (≈160MHz Nyquist) with margin for filter roll-off. |
| 2nd-Harmonic Distortion (5MHz, RL ≥ 1kΩ) | –78dBc - meets broadcast-grade video linearity requirements (dG/dP < 0.05%/0.05°). |
| Output Current (Sourcing) | 160mA min - drives 100Ω loads to ±4V swing, enabling doubly-terminated 50Ω cable driving. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7mA max (±5V) - enables battery-powered video interfaces and multi-channel summing amps. |
| Disable Current | 100µA max - reduces system standby power without external switchers or LDOs. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 3.7nV/√Hz - preserves SNR in ADC driver and low-noise preamp stages. |
| Rise Time (G = +2) | 3ns - ensures sub-10ns pulse fidelity for digital video clock distribution and test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 package (DBV), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, 0.95mm height, thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | Low-impedance voltage source capable of sourcing/sinking >100mA into 100Ω loads. |
| 2 (–VS) | Negative Supply Rail | Connects to ground (single-supply) or negative rail (dual-supply); must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic. |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting Input | 50kΩ || 2pF input impedance; DC-biased at VCM = ±3.75V (±5V supply) for full swing operation. |
| 4 (DIS) | Disable Control (Active-Low) | Pull ≤1.5V to enter shutdown (IQ < 100µA); open or >3.4V for normal operation. |
| 5 (–IN) | Inverting Input | 2.5Ω linearized feedback node; sets closed-loop gain via RF/RG ratio in current-feedback topology. |
| 6 (+VS) | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts +2.8V to +12V (single) or ±2.5V to ±6V (dual); requires local 0.1µF + 6.8µF bypassing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CFBplus Architecture | Internally buffered inverting input maintains <1% bandwidth variation from G = +1 to +20 - eliminates gain-compensation redesign. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA691IDBVR | Higher slew rate (1800V/µs vs 820V/µs), 500MHz bandwidth, 4.5mA IQ - trades power for speed. | Required for >200MHz IF amplification or ultrafast pulse shaping where OPA684IDBVR bandwidth is limiting. | Select OPA691IDBVR only when >300MHz small-signal bandwidth or >1000V/µs slew rate is mandatory; otherwise OPA684IDBVR offers better power efficiency. |
| OPA683IDBVR | Lower IQ (1.1mA), reduced bandwidth (80MHz at G = +10), same SOT-23-6 package - optimized for ultra-low-power video. | Suitable for battery-powered portable monitors or low-data-rate video links where 120MHz bandwidth is excessive. | Choose OPA683IDBVR when system-level power budget restricts IQ to <1.2mA and bandwidth ≤80MHz suffices for target resolution. |
Compared with OPA691IDBVR, the OPA684IDBVR delivers 40% lower quiescent current at 60% of the bandwidth - ideal for multi-channel video systems where thermal density and board area constrain higher-power alternatives. Against OPA683IDBVR, it adds 40MHz bandwidth and 30% higher output current for minimal IQ penalty.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for OPA684IDBVR?
The OPA684IDBVR supports a maximum operating voltage range of ±6V for dual-supply configurations or +12V for single-supply operation, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding ±6.5V on either rail risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term operation, TI recommends staying within ±6V or +12V limits, with typical characterization performed at ±5V and +5V.
Does OPA684IDBVR support true single-supply operation down to 2.8V?
Yes, the OPA684IDBVR is fully characterized for single-supply operation from +2.8V to +12V. At +2.8V, it maintains functional operation with 1.25V input headroom and 1.0V output headroom, delivering usable gain-of-2 performance into 100Ω loads. Electrical specifications at +2.8V are provided in the datasheet's "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS: VS = +5V" section with appropriate derating notes.
What is the function of the DIS pin on OPA684IDBVR, and how should it be interfaced?
The DIS pin on OPA684IDBVR is an active-low disable control. Pulling it to ≤1.5V disables the amplifier, reducing supply current to <100µA and placing all I/O pins in high-impedance state. Leaving it open or holding it ≥3.4V enables normal operation. No external pull-up is required; the internal bias ensures safe default operation when left unconnected.
Can OPA684IDBVR drive a 75Ω video load directly in a broadcast application?
Yes, the OPA684IDBVR can directly drive a 75Ω video load in broadcast applications. Its 160mA sourcing capability and ±4V output swing on ±5V supplies deliver >1.5VPP into 75Ω with <0.04% differential gain error and <0.02° differential phase error - meeting SMPTE 259M-C requirements for standard-definition video. A series 10Ω resistor is recommended for optimal impedance matching.
How does the CFBplus architecture of OPA684IDBVR improve bandwidth stability versus conventional CFB op amps?
The CFBplus architecture in OPA684IDBVR uses an internally closed-loop input buffer to linearize the inverting-input impedance, reducing its sensitivity to gain-setting resistor variations. This results in <5% bandwidth change from G = +1 to +20 - compared to >30% degradation in legacy CFB amplifiers - enabling predictable, gain-independent frequency response for video equalizers and programmable-gain stages.
